Travel Insurance

Planning for the Unexpected
As Donna Summer sang, “She Works Hard for the Money” and so do you. That’s why you should protect your vacation with a travel insurance policy, especially when traveling overseas. Most of the time vacations go off seamlessly and your only worries are uploading all of those wonderful photos of your memorable trip. But on occasion, things don’t go as planned.

What happens if you slip and break your ankle while walking the cobblestone streets of Italy? Will the insurance you have through your job cover mishaps abroad? Will you have to pay upfront and then hassle with reimbursement forms after returning home? Who are you going to call if your passport gets stolen by a pickpocket artist in eastern Europe; or your luggage never arrives for the family reunion cruise or a hurricane destroys your honeymoon villa three days prior to your departure? These problems become magnified when traveling to a foreign country and you don’t speak the language.

An international travel insurance policy will give you the help and peace of mind you need when you’re so far from home. How comforted will you feel knowing you have a 24-hour hotline to reach out to you if disaster strikes? Policies are available to protect you if you require emergency medical evacuation, must cancel due to a last-minute illness of an elderly parent or for trip-interruption coverage if your spouse gets hurt zip lining in Costa Rica.

Ask us about trip-insurance coverage and we’ll help you plan for the unexpected.
